Hey guys, I know this is probably a you get what you pay for type of thing but I am just looking for a definitive answer on the difference of the PRO Civic and eBay grill. I know I'm being a cheap skate but the PRO Civic is 177.95 and eBay is 99.99. To me cost savings on a non "performance" part is worth it if the eBay grill is decent quality. The difference in price I can see is PRO gives you a basic front emblem and the eBay grill does not, which I will not be using the provided emblem and will purchase the FD2 emblem. Visually the only difference I can see is there is no backing to where the emblem mounts on the eBay grill and the PRO does. I'm wondering if this will cause problems properly mounting the emblem to the eBay grill. Pictures bellow for reference:

*I kind of jumped the gun on posting this as there are a million threads out there on this subject. So I'll take the L and look more before I post next time but I figured I'd compile what I found on my search since they are scattered all over. Here are pics(links and owners listed below) I pulled from the forums that shows the emblems installed and seems that the eBay grill is able to mount securely to the grill without any issues:

My eBay grille is the same as the Pro Civic. Comes with emblem and the backing plate was in the mold, not detachable.

Hey you used mine for the eBay one. Mine had a surround for the emblem but I wanted max airflow so I took it off. (Probably makes no real difference lol) Fitment is 9.5/10 there is one spot that bugs me but oh well.

I like the FKX racing grill alot. I might switch from mine to that
Yea I unfortunately stumbled across it after I bought an eBay grill. The FKX is also the cheapest out of the three options as in the description it says it is supplied with the emblem. Best pricing for each option I have found is:

eBay: 94.99 (Includes $5 off code)
w/emblem: 154.96*

Pro Civic: 177.95
w/emblem: 237.92*

FKX: 149.99*

*Pricing does not include shipping if it applies
